Professional Review

This page explains how the Professional Review process works. Find out what you'll have to do for the submission stage and on the day of your review, where you can sit your review, and how much it costs.

This is where you prove that you’ve developed all the skills, knowledge and experience needed to become a professionally qualified member.

Your Professional Review includes the review submission and review day. You'll be assessed by two experienced civil engineers (your reviewers).

Professional Review submission

You’ll need to send us several documents, including your Professional Review report, CV and continuing professional development (CPD) records.

Your report describes how you have the attributes needed to become professionally qualified. It will need to go into detail about your skills, knowledge and experience, including the projects you’ve worked on and the responsibility you've had.

Professional Review day

This involves three activities: a presentation, an interview and a written exercise, which take place on the same day.

Presentation – this is an opportunity for you to go into more detail on particular topics covered in your review report

Interview – your reviewers will ask you about various aspects of your report to make sure you've achieved the attributes you need

Written exercise – you’ll be set two questions and have to answer one. The questions will be on a subject that relates to your experience

How can I find out more?

We’ve prepared a guidance document which outlines all you'll need to know to help get you ready and apply for your Professional Review
